People who attend Podcast Movement 2018, which will take place in Philadelphia on July 23-26, will have a very special opportunity. Attendees will be able to pitch their idea to Audible, who will be accepting submissions from Podcast Movement participants.

Audible is primarily looking for narrative audio with a strong sense of story and a comedic bent. They’re not looking for comedians in a room talking to one another. The pitch should have direction and structure, clearly embrace an audio-first / audio-only experience, and they’re looking to hear about a full and funny world.

Audible is also open to other genres, sketch, one-person shows, personal memoirs, and listening experiences that break new ground in audio entertainment.

Submissions must be received by July 13, 2018. A Short List will be selected by July 20, and participants will be invited to pitch their idea to audible executives live at Podacast Movement on July 25, 2018.

As always, it would be a good idea to take a look at the Submission Agreement for full details. It includes, among many other important details, information about what rights submitters give to audible over the content they submitted.

Podcast Movement 2018 has announced the speakers and emcee for the PMx Competition. As has been the tradition since Podcast Movement 2015, the first people to take the stage and speak at Podcast Movement will be their PMx Competition participants.

PMx offers a chance for fellow Podcast Movement attendees to take the stage, give a fifteen minute TED-like talk, and compete for a chance to take the main stage at the following year’s Podcast Movement.

Podcast Movement 2018 will take place on July 23-26 at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown. They made their first round of speaker announcements by pointing out 16 Speakers – and why you won’t want to miss what they have to say.

There is a detailed listing about each of the 16 Speakers on the Podcast Movement 2018 website. Last year, Podcast Movement made Speaker announcements in a slow trickle, so it is refreshing to see so many Speakers announced at once. Here is a list of the 16 Speakers and the title of what they will be presenting.

Podcast Movement 2018 has announced that they have added a brand new track to their Session Offerings. The new track will start at this year’s Podcast Movement in Philadelphia.

The suggestion for this new category came from one of the most respected members of the podcast community, Podcast Hall of Famer Elsie Escobar. Her podcasts include She Podcasts and Libsyn’s The Feed. Part of Elsie Escobar’s explanation of the new track is:

Podcasters have a history of being culture shifters, change makers, fringe dwellers, and risk takers. There is a wealth of podcasts out there that have had a massive impact on society, culture, inclusion, diversity, and creating communities of belonging.

This year, Podcast Movement leads the industry by offering the opportunity to podcasters whose work is heavily embedded in social and cultural topics, serving underrepresented populations and to those addressing social justice issues through podcasting by adding another session track: Society, Culture & Advocacy!

The Society, Culture & Advocacy track is described as: “This track encourages speakers and attendees alike to address some of the most difficult, but also most important, topics head-on. From discussions around diversity, racism, and harassment, to bringing voice to underrepresented communities, we look forward to them happening at this year’s conference.”

Podcast Movement 2018 is now accepting speakers for their event. Podcast Movement 2018 will take place July 24 – 26, 2018, at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown. Applications to be a Speaker will be accepted through February 28, 2018.

Everyone who applies to be a speaker will be notified no later than March 15, 2018. You will find out if you have been accepted. Or, you will be notified that your submission was not accepted. They aren’t going to leave you wondering about the status of your application.

The goal of the Podcast Movement is to create an event where awesome people in the podcast space can teach and inspire each other to grow as individuals, and grow the industry as a whole.

Podcast Movement 2018 is now accepting applications from podcasters who want to speak at the event. To apply, you will be asked to submit a working title and description of your proposed session or panel, as well as information about yourself and your podcasting experience.

Be aware that Podcast Movement typically gets more submissions for speakers than they can fit into the event. Last year, they had 500 submissions, and they expect there will be more than that this year. There are only a limited number of spots to fill. Last year, Podcast Movement accepted 50 of the 500 speakers who applied.

Interested podcasters are asked to take a moment to review the session types and session tracks, so they can pick the best fit for their submission. You can find plenty of information about each on the Podcast Movement website that discusses the call for submissions.
